Why Wade’s Restoration of Atlanta Is Carrollton’s Preferred Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Company
Ask anyone on your street in Carrollton who they call when a fire leaves more than ashes behind, and you’ll hear Wade’s name. Not because we advertise louder than the national outfits. Because Wade shows up. He answers his own phone, he reads the smoke path like a route map, and he writes the scope of work in plain English before anyone touches a wall. His crew is background-checked and uniformed. His equipment is Dri-Eaz and Phoenix, not rental-store leftovers. And every fire restoration job in Carrollton comes with the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not right, he comes back. One call.
Carrollton homeowners have dealt with the other kind of company. The phone quote that changes at the door. The crew that shows up, works for two days, and disappears. Wade built this business in 2007 so that wouldn’t happen to his neighbors. He publishes his name and address. His license number is on every contract. He knows the 30118 and 30117 neighborhoods, the ranch homes off Maple Street, the older mill cottages near Adamson Square. And he knows what fire does to each of them differently.
Scheduling and dispatch run from the Atlanta office, but the crews that head to Carrollton live and work across west Georgia. That means when a storm tears through or a fire starts in the middle of the night, you’re not waiting on a van from two counties away.
Our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Services in Carrollton
Fire Damage Cleanup
We remove charred framing, damaged drywall, and flooring down to a surface that will actually hold a rebuild. In older Carrollton homes with wood-lathe construction, that means checking every cavity, not just the visible burn. Soot gets behind plaster and hides there. We don’t leave it there.
Smoke & Soot Removal
Soot is acidic. Left alone, it etches glass, corrodes metal fixtures, and permanently yellows synthetic flooring. On Carrollton jobs, we see the heaviest smoke residue in ranches with central HVAC, because the system pulls smoke through every room while the fire burns. We clean ductwork, registers, and the walls around them before the job is considered done.
Odor Removal & Deodorization
Smoke odor is a particle problem, not just a smell problem. In Carrollton‘s mill-era cottages near downtown, original wood-lathe framing traps those particles deep inside wall cavities. Surface cleaning alone won’t fix it. We use cavity fogging and ozone treatment to reach what you can’t scrub.
Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out
When a fire hits a rental property near the University of West Georgia, there’s no empty weekend to sort through smoke-damaged furniture. We pack out, inventory, clean, and store contents off-site, then bring them back when the structure’s ready. You deal with one point of contact the whole time.

Trusted Brands We Service in Carrollton
We run Dri-Eaz air movers and dehumidifiers, Phoenix desiccants, and XPOWER air scrubbers on jobs across Carrollton and western Carroll County. These aren’t homeowner-grade units. They’re what restoration pros use when the clock is running and the humidity is climbing. We stock replacement filters, cords, and accessories for these brands, which means less downtime when a piece fails mid-job. Wade doesn’t cut corners on equipment. He’s seen what happens when a cheap fan dies in the middle of a smoke-in-damaged crawl space.
Common Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Problems We See in Carrollton Homes
- Forgotten detached workshops and garages. Carrollton’s acreage lots often have outbuildings that get skipped during the initial fire response. A hole in the roof stays open, and after one spring thunderstorm the smoke-damaged contents are soaked on top of the soot. Board-up and tarping on every structure on the property, not just the house, prevents that.
- Surface-only odor treatment in older homes. The mill-era cottages near Adamson Square have wood-lathe framing that absorbs smoke like a sponge. If we don’t fog the cavities or run ozone, the smell comes back in three weeks. Usually after the homeowner has moved back in.
- Red clay runoff flooding the crawl space during fire cleanup. This one’s specific to Carrollton. The dense Georgia clay sheds water straight toward foundation walls during March and April storms. A fire-damaged ranch on the east or south side of town with a flooded crawl space will grow mold under the subfloor in 24 to 48 hours. You can’t fix the fire and ignore the water.
- HVAC systems spreading soot after the fire is out. If the blower ran during the fire, soot is in the ducts. We see it on nearly every Carrollton ranch with central air. Cleaning the house but skipping the ducts means the smell and the film come back the first time the AC kicks on.
Pricing for Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Carrollton, GA
A typical fire damage cleanup in Carrollton runs $2,800 to $6,500 depending on the size of the burn and how many rooms took smoke. Smoke and soot removal on a single room with light residue usually falls between $900 and $1,900. Full odor removal with cavity fogging and ozone adds $800 to $2,400, and pack-out with off-site contents cleaning runs $3,000 to $8,000 for a full home, less for a partial pack-out. Emergency board-up and tarping on a Carrollton home starts around $600 and goes up based on the number of openings. Beats leaving a hole in the roof through the next storm.

FAQs - Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Carrollton
We can usually be on site in Carrollton within two hours to board up and tarp any structure on the property, including outbuildings. If you’re watching the radar and the next storm line is moving in, call (888) 690-3757 and Wade will make sure every opening gets covered before the rain arrives.
Yes, and this is exactly the dual fire-and-water scenario we see most on Carrollton’s east and south side ranches. Our fire cleanup includes water extraction and drying when the crawl space or subfloor got hit by storm runoff. We handle both in one scope, one contract, one trip. Trying to separate them just means mold gets a head start while you wait.
If water from firefighting or a storm-soaked wall cavity was involved, yes. In Carrollton’s older homes with wood-lathe framing, moisture behind plaster turns to mold within 24 to 48 hours in our humid climate. We check for moisture in wall cavities before we call a fire job complete. If we find it, we dry it and treat it before the rebuild goes back up.
We handle the pack-out ourselves. We inventory every item, clean what’s salvageable, store it off-site, and document it all for your insurance claim. You don’t need a separate mover, and you don’t need to coordinate two crews while trying to get a rental back on the market. One call, one crew, no runaround.
Yes. Smoke rises, and attics hold it. If we cleaned the living space but didn’t address the attic cavity, the smell will drift back down every time the house heats up. We’ll come back and fog or ozone the attic at no charge for a revisit under the 90-Day Done Right Promise. Call (888) 690-3757 and we’ll get it scheduled.
